Geoffrey Litt shares how Potluck can take a regular text document and gradually enrich it to have computational behavior that is personalized to your needs. https://youtu.be/bJ3i4K3hefI #personalsoftware

@david_megginson I want a world where artists and authors don't starve, and that's the exact opposite of the world of copyright (where corporations can lay claim to the works of others while censoring new works).

We need UBI or better direct financing methods (though Patreon helps), not a tool of abusive publishers, record labels, and studios.

I'm pretty tired of picking the "lesser of two evils" and would like to try the "better of two goods."

Linux surpasses the Mac among Steam gamers

It's not the year of Linux on desktop; it's the year of Linux on a handheld.

Another thing we did last weekend in Berlin: redeployed Cinnamon’s seasonal clock, with some adjustments so that there are matching emoji for every hour of the day: https://seasonalclock.org

(this is a global clock where it’s the same ‘hour’ everywhere around the world, e.g. I am posting this at blossom hour, no matter where you are. It is a scheduling toy for an existing group of friends.)

You know when you have a video loop, but to make it loop something disappears in an improbable manner?

And you think, that's a shame, because I really like this little clip.

And you could crop it so, for example, a bird doesn't disappear in mid-flight, but then it looks unbalanced so you need to find some unobtrusive way for the bird to disappear so it appears natural?

Yeah. That.

I think I need a quiet lie down.
